I would recommend this product
I previously worked with professional athletes and was introduced to Sombra at that time by the training and medical team. Our athletes felt that their return to function was facilitated by Sombra. I've been using it with my clients ever since - 14+ years now.
Very good for pain and artritis
I've always loved this product, and this container makes it easier to use and keep everything sanitary. Wish it were a little less pricey, though.

Giving onlyone child two middle names?
what would you thnk about this?I'm just trying to behave as I think a friend should behave. Granted, I haven't had much practice.
~Elphaba Thropp, Wicked, by Gregory Maguire

I don't think it matters too much. I think a lot of people have this perception that their children will feel left out if their names aren't structured like their siblings, but really I don't think that is all that true. It's become commonplace now in my family to give children two middle names (perhaps more by chance than by conscious decision) but I don't feel pushed out of the family. One of my cousins is pregnant with her third child, and I don't think he or she will have two middles like his/her siblings, but I doubt anyone will bat an eyelid over it. Every child in my family, before me and after me, was given a gold bracelet when they were born - except me. Personally I think that's more likely to make someone feel left out than a name decision, but I've never been genuinely bothered by it and I just laugh the whole thing off. Children are individuals, after all, and they do exist as a separate entity to the family unit, so I don't feel like parents should be bound by a certain rule.
Having said that, I wouldn't do it myself as I like things as uniform as possible personally, but I don't think it's as big of a deal as some people make it out to be.g e n e v i e v e

I don't think its much of a problem, my mum originally wanted to give me two middle names to honor her mum and my dad's...However Dad did not want to include his mother's name...So I only have one.
My younger brother on the other hand has two, at times I've felt a little envious but it isn't earth shattering.Marko | Susanna | Kit | Rosemary

It's not a huge deal, but I do know of instances where siblings have a different number of names and the one with fewer feels that they got ripped off. I'd say if your first has two middles, just throw in an extra for the other siblings. I'd think twice about giving a younger sibling multiple middles if an older sibling has one, but it's not the end of the world if they have different numbers.

I'm all about symmetry in naming and it would bother me a lot for one kid to have two middle names when the other doesn't. except.... if the two names are both really short (sort of like they combine in length to equal the other children's mn).
Daisy Mae vs Charlotte etc.
(I feel the same way with different naming styles and extremely/obviously different origins like German and Japanese or something).Aurelia - Endora - Illyria - Lorelei - Merida - Ofelia - Penrose - Tabitha - Viola - Zenobia
Alaric - Anton - Cedric - Dexter - Erich - Felix - Hector - Hendrik - Leonidas - Victor

BP's safety procedures at their refineries are under the spotlight once again. A fire at the Cherry Point refinery in Washington State, USA, has focussed attention on BP's spotty safety record. Currently union workers are in the midst of preliminary contract talks and the focus is on safety.
The fire broke out Friday afternoon and quick action by fire fighters had it out within two hours. Pinpointing the cause of the fire is at its preliminary stages, but attention has been given to a leaky pipe.
"The refinery received 12 citations in 2010 from the state's worker safety regulator, the Department of Labor & Industries, for serious violations in the safe management of processes involving highly hazardous chemicals at the hydrocracking unit.
BP did not appeal the 2010 citations, corrected the problems and paid $69,200 in fines, the department said in a press release at the time." Reuters
BP holds the dubious record of worst US refinery accident when the Texas City refinery fire claimed 15 dead and 170 injured.
In this latest accident, there were no deaths and only one hospitalization.
In the follow up investigations of BP's safety record after the Deepwater Horizon disaster, ABC News has uncovered many safety violations by BP, far more that other petroleum companies operating in North America. In their May 27, 2010 article ABC News stated:
"BP's safety violations far outstrip its fellow oil companies. According to the Center for Public Integrity, in the last three years, BP refineries in Ohio and Texas have accounted for 97 percent of the "egregious, willful" violations handed out by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)." ABC News
It leaves the by-stander wondering if it is simply the cost of doing business to sacrifice the lives and health of its workers as well as fouling the environment .
Currently BP is fighting its investors over the damage and losses resulting from the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Led by Ohio and New York pension plans, the investors claim that BP exaggerated their capabilities and when the oil blowout occurred, downplayed the seriousness of the incident to protect stock prices.
The oil blowout and resulting fire claimed 11 men's lives. The resulting months long uncontrolled oil spill fouled wetlands, the ocean and has compromised the health of many local residents.
In turn BP is accusing Halliburton of destroying evidence that would have revealed possible safety flaws in the quality of the cement slurry destined to fail when the well blowout occurred.

Vladimir and Georgii Stenberg were born in Moscow, in 1899 and 1900. They attended the Stroganov School of Applied Art and took classes in military engineering. In the early 1920s they joined with other artists including Alexander Rodchenko in an exhibition of Constructivist sculpture and painting. The Stenbergs' contributions were non objective sculptures of glass, metal, wire, and wood showing lines and planes floating in space. Their earliest graphic design efforts were for the theater which the Soviet state supported as a powerful propaganda tool. They provided inventive and graphic costumes and sets for the Moscow Chamber Theater productions by George Bernard Shaw, Eugene O'Neill and Bertolt Brecht. In one case they included the names of the characters running down the sides of their costumes.

We have the largest selection of engagement rings, wedding rings, and loose diamonds in the state, including many exclusive styles available only at Shane Co. Free Lifetime Warranty, Unconditional 60-day Refund or Exchange Guarantee.
Got a ring I don't like from my finance! – My fiance went to Shane Co to buy my engagement ring. He knew I wanted a simple setting. Instead, he was sold a ring setting with 11 diamonds.
Unfortunately, by the time he proposed we were past the return timeframe. As a result, I went ahead and had the ring sized. The shank is now incredibly thin since Shane Co didn't add any gold to the shank when they sized it up. My now husband, would have be willing to pay for it, but Shane Co should have done it without charge.
Long story short, I bought myself an eternity band to wear daily instead of the gaudy Shane Co engagement ring. My husband was ripped off for the sake of a sale. He felt taken advantage of and pushed towards the setting due to aggressive sales reps.
I don't recommend Shane Co.
I'm very sorry to hear about your poor experience with our Indianapolis store. We pride ourselves on not pressuring our customers, ever. It seems that we have let you and your husband down on the front, and for that I am extremely sorry. I would really like to hear more about your experiences with the store and see what I can do to help resolve this issue. I would appreciate it if you'd be able to send me your email address or phone number to help facilitate further discussion. You can reach me at email@example.com.
Thank you for your review and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Incredible Shopping Experience!! – My boyfriend and I started looking at Shane Co. for an engagement ring, but wanted to look at other jewelers to make sure that we were getting what we wanted and for a good price.
After leaving Shane Co, we went to Distinctive Diamonds. My first reaction is that there was a sheriff's deputy sitting at the front door and greeting you. It made me feel like I was in the ghetto somewhere. After getting over that, we ended up having trouble getting someone to actually help us. When we finally did have someone help us, I told the sales lady what I liked and she took me to something totally different and tried to talk me into something else. Needless to say, we were less than pleased.
Then we went across the street to Jared. The sales lady pulled a couple of diamonds for me to see, one of which was their signature "Leo" diamond. My first reaction was, "OMG, this is yellow!" When I told her that I felt it looked a little yellow, she said that it was because of the yellow walls and that we would need to go outside to see how it sparkles. We did end up doing this, but my gut reaction was that even a CZ would look pretty and sparkle outside, what is that going to tell me? They also kept taking my boyfriend away from me and talking him into things that I probably otherwise wouldn't have let him be talked in to. They ended up, before I even knew it, telling him that the diamonds and setting that I was looking at couldn't be guarenteed to be there unless he applied for a Jared card and bought it all today with the thought that he could cancel it within 30 days if he wanted to. Even though the price was $500 over what he said his budget was, he reluctantly went through with this option because she said "I can't do any better than that", but had buyers remorse afterwards. He also learned after paying and taking a closer look at the receipt, Jared had some hidden fees that we were not expecting including a fee to set the diamond in the setting and a fee for the warranty.
We then went to dinner and talked about how when we left Shane Co. we felt all warm and fuzzy inside and when we left Jared, we felt like we had been duped. The next day, my boyfriend called to make an appt to go back to Shane Co and talk to Jen P. so that we could see again what they had to offer and compare it to what we had seen and been talked into at Jared.
We went to Shane Co again today and saw Jen P. for a second time. She was awesome!! She was able to answer all of our questions for us about what we were feeling uneasy about with Jared as well as educated us on the actual diamonds and settings. She also asked what my boyfriend's budget was and actually was able to keep us not only within it, but even a little under (including tax)! (He was thrilled!) There were no hidden fees on the receipt either, just the diamond and the setting like we had talked about. We walked out of there extremely happy and comfortable with the decision we had just made. We also had a better quality setting and diamond than we were looking at at Jared and it was $1,000 cheaper!
We immediately left Shane Co. and drove to Jared to sign the papers to cancel the stuff my boyfriend he kept on hold. We will be doing all of our business at Shane Co. from now on! We are very satisfied customers and would recommend them to anyone!
Thank you so much for posting this review on CitySearch as well! I am extremely happy that you had such a great experience and if there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know.

Amazing customer service! – Today my wife and I visited the store to have her ring cleaned and checked for any problems. She purchased the ring about nine months ago when we were first married and I was out of the country at the time. When we entered the store, Marcus L., the salesman that had helped her, recognized her, remembered her by name, and even remembered that I had been overseas. He took extremely good care of us, was courteous, professional, and very knowledgeable. Good service is hard to find and we definitely found it with Marcus. We have since left the state for work but will return to Indianapolis to make any future jewelry purchases from him. Very impressive. Thank you.
Thanks for posting the review on multiple channels. That is very awesome of you! I'm honestly really glad that Marcus was able to help you out!

NO "Friend in the Diamond Business" – My fience and I went to the Shane Co. in fear that some of the smaller stores would be effected by the economy, and any warranties would not be upheld.
We put $800.00 down on the engagement ring we both wanted and were assured by the salesman that we could get our money back "at any time" with a $20.00 restocking fee. Two months after we put the deposit down, we were both let go from our jobs due to downsizing. Unfortunately this meant no ring. When we contacted the company we were told that they had filed for bankruptcy and that we would not be getting any money back. We were told that we were welcomed to "come pick out $800.00 worth of merchandise from the showroom". First of all, if we are out of work groceries take presidence over jewelry, second, if this company just went bankrupt, why would we want to own anything from their store???
If they were any "friends" of ours they would give us our hard eaned money back so that we could take care of our family.

Please note: the galleries of the Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler museums are currently closed for the final phases of a renovation and expansion project. A new state-of-the-art Harvard Art Museums facility designed by Renzo Piano will unite the three museums and open at our historic 32 Quincy Street location in the fall of 2014. Read more about the project, including an overview, timeline, and weekly updates, at harvardartmuseums.org/renovation.
The Harvard Art Museums, among the world's leading art institutions, comprise three museums (Fogg, Busch-Reisinger, and Arthur M. Sackler) and four research centers (Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies, the Center for the Technical Study of Modern Art, the Harvard Art Museums Archives, and the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis). The Fogg Museum is dedicated to Western art from the Middle Ages to the present; the Busch-Reisinger Museum focuses on works from central and northern Europe with a special emphasis on the art of German-speaking countries; and the Arthur M. Sackler Museum is dedicated to Asian, ancient, and Islamic and later Indian art. Together, the collections include approximately 250,000 objects in all media. The Harvard Art Museums are distinguished by the range and depth of their collections, their groundbreaking exhibitions, and the original research of their staff. Integral to Harvard University and the wider community, the museums and research centers serve as resources for students, scholars, and the public. For more than a century they have been the nation's premier training ground for museum professionals and are renowned for their seminal role in developing the discipline of art history in this country.

Programs and events continue to be offered in the lecture hall of the Arthur M. Sackler Museum at 485 Broadway and at a number of other campus venues. harvardartmuseums.org/calendar

If you want to set yourself up for sales success, your best strategy lies in being fully prepared for the all-important sales call. It's critical to think through every aspect of the call ahead of time. Don't fool yourself into thinking you can just wing it – you'll get much better results if you clearly define your goals and create a strategy you can follow to achieve them.
With careful planning, you'll have a much clearer vision of what you need to accomplish and a roadmap for how to get there.

Here are seven steps you can take to create an effective sales plan:

En st. James ud . puede encontar un alto nivel academico, valores religiosos y morales, sus maestros son bien capacitados,nuestros hijos estan seguros, y todos somos una gran familia, ideal para los tiempos que vivimos actualmente.mi hija esta feliz en la escuela st. james.
As a parent of four children I have had experiences with other catholic schools as well as public schools. I currently have two daughters who attend St. James. I decided to send my daughters to St. James due to the programs that differentiate St. James such as the special needs program and music programs. After joining the St. James community I became even more impressed with the quality of the programs- there is a big difference on having a program and have a quality program that is going to help your child excel. As one of my daughters prepares to graduate from St. James- she leaves academically strong which is critical in order for her to thrive in High School. Although, she has a learning difference she is confident due to the support of the staff and encouragement for her to take risks.
Great environment, good education, everyone is happy and parents are friendly, nice , and participate in all events the school offers.
I'm really happy with my decision to send my daughter to St. James. The teachers are all really qualified and caring. It is a very nurturing, safe environment. I really like that all of the teachers know all of the kids names and the parents get involved to make the school a really nice community.
St. james is a great school, the teacers are great . The principle , teachers and parents are very involved in our childrens growth and future.
I haven't had a problem since my daughter (2nd gr) has attended here at SJ. I love that the the school has a Zero tolerance on bullying. The parents are are great! I am not talking about from my class but from within the whole community. Please check out the school, you won't be disappointed.
Great school! Highly recommended!!! The 2009-10 was the first year my girls attented St. James, and there academics improved greatly. Both of my girls transferred from an immersion program and I was a little scared that they were behind in there english comprhension, by the end of the year they are both above average. My first grader made irst honors!!!! (Honor's start in 3rd grade and my other daughter is in 2nd). I do not regret transferring them at all, great school would recommended to anyone. The teachers are great, they are always there to talk to and always willing to help. The Principle, Sister Mary Susan, is great, helps you out in everything she can; she is very involved and knows all her families!!! Great community!!!!
We love St. James and by "we" i mean my daughter too. It's a safe, nurturing environment with highly qualified teachers and a principal that is very involved, the kids love her!. I love the fact that there's so much parent involvement. It's like a home away from home. They have a very strong academic program as well. My daughter is soaring there! i highly recommend that you visit this school and see for yourself. Nos fascina esta escuela es un ambiente muy sano y seguro con excelentes maestros muy profesionales y muy lindos. La escuela tiene un extenso programa academico y la directora tanto como los padres estan muy involucrados. Les recomiendo que la visiten.
I did not like this school at all. My son just went to this school for 1 yr. and i took him out..
Good school, very friendly environment, very academically sound. But, lacks drive and true structure needed when it comes to it's student athletes. The entire package needs to be completed (mind, body, and soul)for this school to be one of the best. Almost there!
My child has attended St. James for 3 years and has grown tremendously. Not only academically, but socially as well. The parent/teacher/community relationships are strong and it's wonderful that the principal knows every family by name and takes sincere interest in the well being of all the children. Because the school is small (approx. 220 students for K-8) my child knows kids from all grades. The after school program is wonderful and provides a place for my child to complete his homework, have snack and play with his friends.

I have to ask - what does your siggy mean? I've been trying to figure it out for months : Is it hot dogs?
Thanks for asking!
I have to ask - what does your siggy mean? I've been trying to figure it out for months : Is it hot dogs?
: I've just been waiting for someone, anyone to ask me about my siggy! I should have known around MDC it didn't seem *that* strange. It's just a particular quote that I absolutely LOVED from The Omnivore's Dilemma. I really wanted to remember it (it was some organic farmer talking about the way America eats, agribusiness, etc.) so I stuck it in my siggy. The "since 2005" is just there for good measure, totally made it up. .
Thanks for asking!
LOL!!! I thought it was hot dogs, too, or actual SPAM. I was trying not to feel to badly about the fact that the sitter gave my daughter a hot dog yesterday and she LOVED it. Sigh. It was the most she had eaten all week was that hot dog.
LOL!!!! How funny! On another similar note, does your mom really wear cloth depends?
: Okay at least you mamas got my laughs in today. That came from a very funny exchange at CVS one day... So the cashier said something very funny, and my mom was laughing so hard (as was I) and Mom said, "Oh stop it, I'm an old lady and you all are going to make me pee my pants!"
Cashier: We have Depends for that, right over in aisle 2 (still laughing)
Mom: (guffawing and dying laughing now) Oh yes but my daughter here is such a hippie she only lets me wear cloth depends!
Or something very similar. It was very funny, we still laugh about it. But no, in reality she does not wear depends at all just yet (but when she does need them, you'd better believe I'll be sewing her some cloth ones!)
Okay, confession time. Homer loves Yoohoo. Chocolate junk. My dh somehow thinks this is an acceptable substitute for milk. It is a chocolate drink. I don't know how it found its way in my house, but he loved it. : But if I'm going to confess something I gave him, it has to be the chips from a few posts back. He now walks around alternating between "I want side (outside)" and "I want chips." Or "I want kawklit." Gawd we're healthy over here aren't we?
katie - I just noticed upir sig and wanted to say wow and congrats! 40+ lbs is awesome!
Ita about the water, that's just sensible not overbearing. Homer won't stay with anyone else at the moment besdes me, dh, or dd/ds(she's 12 he's 16).
I'm glad Homer is not a runner so far because I wouldn't be able to catch him with this stupid lung disease. His older brother was at this age (my 4yo) but I wasn't so sick then and could keep up.
Midnightcommando I know what you mean about .
Homer almost fell off the slide today, gave me a heart attack. Thankfully his brother held him until I got there. So yea on the bruising, he's a daredevil all right.
I can't stop laughing, been catching up on the pages, hmmmm maybe I need to get one here more than every other day.
Eating... welllll Jovie (thats my November babies real name) eats most things, but her favourite atm are lollies... its awful, our 4yr old is still asking for a lolly whenever she does no 2 on the toilet, and we still give it to her so whenever she does one, Jovie comes running up, pointing to the cupboard & screaming. If we don't give her one, she will lay on the floor and kick her legs. So for now, we just give her a little one. Bad, I know but its my sanity lolly. Well... thats what I call it.
katiedidbug, yep I'm so not allowed to have anything like a frapacino anymore, I get jumped on & screamed at...
I made some horchata on Monday for my Cinco de Mayo party (teach Australians about good mexican food...) and both my girls are addicted!!! I'm glad its all gone now, I don't have to worry about that anymore.
Wow Katie! You ought to be proud of yourself. Wish I could say the same, but does not look like I'll be in my skinny pants by summer.
Stella - I hope the chemo is not too bad. I think the running thing is personality. DS was never a big runner. He would stop and wait for momma. DD laughs when I say stop and only runs faster.
Slides: I posted about this, but no one responded. http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=891109 Even so, I still recommend the beam, if any of you have access. It is so FUN!
Ya'll are cracking me up with all the food your DCs eat. We had hot dogs on the grill yesterday.
I got my camera fixed! Come on momma's - post some pics!
Here is a link to Homer with my 4yo a week or two ago.
I don't know if I'm talking to some of you anymore . Hot dogs, lollies, chocolate chip cookies, frappacino... :. Oh, I did find the other day that Homer didn't like my meatballs. BUT, when I slathered them with ketchup he ate them all. Meatballs with ketchup. That's healthy, right?
I responded to your thread Allison. I didn't see it earlier, or I would have responded earlier!
Thank goodness for all the confessions! I'm glad we aren't the only ones who occassionally sneak a treat in. James and I are serious chocoholics, so we have some goodies around at all times. Asheby LOVES MMs. I try not to give him more than one a day, but he is so darn cute when he wants one. And we are just now finishing the last of our girl scout cookies, so he has eaten a few of those too. Oh, and we went on a picnic the other day at the Smokey Bear Days in a neighboring town. Well, he discovered Doritos... I couldn't keep his hand out of the bag.
But really!! We DO eat well around here, I promise! He also loves french onion soup, ettoufee (sp?), chili, veggies, garlic stuffed green olives, etc...
On another note, has anyone noticed how fast this thread is moving this month! Page 3 and its only the 8th of May, . I can't keep up with you girls lately!
So, another confession here...I started letting Atticus watch Sesame Street while I was taking a shower, and now he's OBSESSED w/ Elmo! Should I feel bad? I mean, he genuinely loves him. He has a few books, and I think it's so cute that he can point him out. Overall, I didn't want him to get indoctrinated in branding and stuff, but his like of "Melmo" seems really innocent. What are your guy's thoughts?

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Autoimmune Disease and RA
What do rheumatoid arthritis (RA), type 1 diabetes, Graves' disease, and multiple sclerosis have in common? One affects joints, another blood sugar. One puts the thyroid into "overdrive." And the last condition affects the brain and spinal cord. Although the diseases seem pretty different, there is one common denominator. They are all believed to be autoimmune diseases.
RA is one of about 80 different types of autoimmune diseases. After cancer and heart disease, autoimmune diseases are the most common type of disease in the U.S., affecting 50 million Americans. Women make up nearly eight out of every 10 people with an autoimmune disease.

The Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Unlike osteoarthritis, a condition caused by wear and tear on joints, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system targets a person's joint linings. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition that also affects other tissue, but the joints are usually the most severely affected. Although doctors aren't sure of the exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis, it's thought that it may result from a combination of genetics and environmental triggers. Some researchers believe an infection...

What is the common link between autoimmune diseases? And how does autoimmunity lead to rheumatoid arthritis? Here's what you need to know.
What Is the Immune System?
To understand autoimmune diseases such as RA, it helps to know how the immune system normally works. Its most important job is protecting your body against foreign "invaders," such as bacteria and viruses. White blood cells are the agents of the immune system. The immune system works in two main ways. It either directly attacks foreign invaders or it produces proteins called antibodies that attack the intruders.
"Normally, the choreography of this interaction between the white blood cells works very well," says John A. Peyman, PhD, program officer in the clinical immunology branch of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
He tells WebMD that the body can tell what is a threat and what isn't. When you have a cut on your finger, for example, you may end up with a small infection caused by germs that enter the wound. This prompts a type of immune response known as inflammation -- often marked by redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Then the immune system's white blood cells heal the wound and remove the infection.
What Are Autoimmune Diseases?
With an autoimmune disease like RA, however, something goes awry. The white blood cells overreact to stimuli inside the body. Instead of protecting the body from infection or disease as it normally does, the immune system attacks and destroys the body's healthy tissue. It does this by producing antibodies against the body's tissue. This is called autoimmunity.
When the disease affects many organs, as in lupus, it's called a systemic autoimmune disease. If it affects a single organ or type of tissue, such as in type 1 diabetes, it's known as a localized autoimmune disease. Different autoimmune diseases often cluster in families and may affect almost any organ in the body. When they do, they may cause abnormal growth or changes in function.
There are some similarities to allergies in the way the body reacts negatively with an autoimmune disease. The difference is that with allergies, the body's overreaction and response is to external factors such as dust or dander. With an autoimmune disease, the body is responding to itself.

CultureMap Austin -- Kids at SXSW might seem like a local news story about bad parenting, but for those of us old enough and/or crazy enough to have made little kids, I offer hope.
You don't have to pay for a sitter for the whole twelve days and you don't have to stay home either. By choosing the right place at the right time, you can enjoy SXSW with your kids, WITHOUT involving a social worker.
Here are your best bets…
SXSW International Showcases at City Hall Plaza
Wednesday – Friday, March 13-15, 3 p.m. - 7 p.m.
City Hall Plaza, 301 West 2nd Street
The City of Austin is hosting SXSW 2013 showcasing artists from around the world to play free for the public at Austin City Hall. How about this for a music-hiking-art combo – check out the art installation and music at Austin City Hall, then walk a few hundred feet south and walk the trails around Lady Bird Lake.
This is a Growing Up Austin trifecta that doesn't happen every day. The art exhibit is a rotating exhibit of local Austin artists that have won a juried competition. Rumor is that there is a lot of variety in style and mediums. Paid parking is available at the city hall parking garage.
School of Rock's SXSW Showcase
Wednesday, March 13, 1 p.m. - 6 p.m.
Scholz Garten, 1607 San Jacinto
The School of Rock is an music school that combines traditional music lessons and "band" lessons, like how to how to get along with your band mates and how to play in front of people. I take my kids to see grown-ups play music, so why not take them to see music made by people closer to their own size?
Their house band, The B Team, and other kid bands will play music for free and food and drinks will be available. Parking shouldn't be bad for this event, since it is a bit north of the action and there are several parking garages close by.

Top Experts Gather in Nairobi, Kenya to Plan Campaign on Climate Threat to Global Hunger and Poverty
As Agriculture Fights for Recognition in Climate Talks, Researchers Warn Shifting Weather Patterns Are Poised to Depress Crop Yields in Poorest Regions, Leaving Millions at Risk of Increased Hunger and Poverty
Leading agriculture and climate scientists, policymakers, farmers, and development experts from around the world will gather in Nairobi on May 4 to focus on the threat of climate change to the global food supply. If not dealt with, climate change could imperil efforts to reduce poverty and hunger and threaten the stability of entire nations as farmers struggle in hotter and more uncertain conditions to feed a population set to reach 9 billion people by 2050.
The Conference on Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security comes in the wake of talks in Copenhagen last December, where high-level recognition of the link between climate change and food security was reinforced, and less than a month before negotiators reconvene in Bonn, Germany to continue discussions to reach consensus on a new global agreement for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to their impacts. African leaders have been particularly frustrated by the failure of negotiators to give adequate attention to the food security-climate change connection and have joined other developing country officials in declaring: "no agriculture, no agreement.
The Conference is jointly convened by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and the Earth System Science Partnership (ESSP). It is linked to a rapidly emerging research program led by the CGIAR in partnership with ESSP that seeks to provide farmers and policy makers with the means to support sustainable food production in a world where climate change could radically alter agriculture ecosystems and where farmers will be under pressure to simultaneously increase yields and reduce carbon emissions.
A study by the CGIAR's International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) warns that in Africa alone, over the next four decades higher temperatures and more frequent droughts could depress wheat yields by over 30 percent, rice by 15 percent, and maize by 10 percent. Yet the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has projected that over this same period food production globally must increase by 70 percent to feed a population expected to reach 9.1 billion people. IFPRI found that neutralizing the effects of climate change on productivity requires investing at least $7 billion per year on research, irrigation, and rural roads.

State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — Democrats in the Legislature knew that their signature policy achievement – a combination bill to expand public health insurance for the poor and pay off Maine's $186 million debt to its hospitals – was likely temporary.
Moments after it was passed, Gov. Paul LePage reads his veto message of L.D. 1546, "An Act To Strengthen Maine's Hospitals, Increase Access to Health Care and Provide for a New Spirits Contract," in the Hall of Flags on Thursday in the State House in Augusta.
Staff photo by Joe Phelan
Gov. Paul LePage has vetoed a bill that included both Medicaid expansion and the repayment of hospital debt.
On Thursday, Gov. Paul LePage made it so.
Within minutes of the Senate's final passage of L.D. 1546, LePage and Republican lawmakers gathered in the State House Hall of Flags, where Democrats were preparing to hold their celebratory news conference. The governor, sitting at a desk beneath a bank of television cameras, quickly signed his veto message.
It was only a draft veto; the official bill hasn't yet hit his desk. But it was a symbolic end to what appears to be only a symbolic victory for Democrats, who used a high-risk strategy to get what they hoped would be a high-reward outcome, the expansion of Medicaid.
Shortly thereafter, Democrats gathered on the Hall of Flag's steps. They rolled out the props. A map showing the number of Mainers who would gain health insurance through Medicaid expansion. An oversized check made out to Maine's hospitals, now symbolically voided with LePage's symbolic veto.
Senate President Justin Alfond, D-Portland, and House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, proceeded with the news conference, knowing the governor had pre-empted their event.
Eves, delivering his most forceful remarks as speaker, blasted LePage.
"Gov. LePage had an opportunity to prove to Maine people that he could compromise," Eves said. "He failed. He had an opportunity to put politics aside. He failed. Gov. LePage has failed to pay his bills. He failed to provide health care to people whose lives are on the line."
Eves urged Republicans to override the governor's veto. That appears unlikely.
Since taking office in 2011, LePage has vetoed about 20 bills passed by the Legislature. Only two vetoes have been overridden.
And Republicans have unilaterally rejected L.D. 1546 during floor votes, calling it reckless and futile for Democrats to link Medicaid expansion with a bipartisan proposal to pay the hospital debt.
Democrats believed that L.D. 1546 was their best and only chance to expand Medicaid to an estimated 60,000 Mainers. Using their majorities in the House and Senate, they took LePage's signature policy goal -- paying back the hospitals -- and tied it to Medicaid expansion. That distinguished Maine from the other states in the Medicaid debate, the latest front in the battle over the federal Affordable Care Act.
The legislative vehicle in Maine was different, but the debate was the same as everywhere else. Democrats said expansion will cover more people, improve health outcomes and reduce health care costs. Republicans said Medicaid expansion is risky, far from free and a costly way to deliver health insurance.
The floor debates over the bill have been the most contentious and passionate of this legislative session.
It was personal for some Democrats.
During the first Senate floor debate, Sen. Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, talked about two friends in his district who died from heart failure after being diagnosed initially with acid reflux. Neither had health insurance.
Jackson had a similar diagnosis, and found that he had a heart condition. He now has a pacemaker -- and the guilt of having health insurance because he's a legislator.
"It's ... embarrassment that I had health insurance and they didn't," Jackson said. "It's embarrassment that I'm alive and they didn't have that opportunity."
Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta, acknowledged that the cause is heartfelt for some Democrats.

Indiana is changing the look of its college financial aid budget.
Governor Evan Bayh created the 21st Century Scholars program in 1990 to guarantee the equivalent of full tuition at a state university to students who maintain a C average in high school and stay out of trouble. But financial aid commissioner Mary Jane Michalak says the program's budget has stayed flat while eligibility has grown by 9% to 13% a year.
The state has filled the gap with money from other aid programs, for students who don't qualify for the scholarships or who need additional assistance to attend private schools. But Michalak says the brand ID of the 21st Century Scholars program is so strong that students sometimes think they're being shortchanged -- they don't notice that the bottom line on their aid statement adds in money from the other funds.
Both House Republicans' budget and Governor Pence's nearly quadruple the scholarship fund for the next two years, to $230 million dollars, while decreasing other funds. The overall increase in financial aid is 10% in Pence's budget and 14% in the House plan.
Even that amount falls $20 million short of state projections for the scholarship fund. Cost-control measures enacted in 2011 begin to take effect in 2016, when the state will cap scholarships at $2,500 for students who don't show financial need. Starting that year, the state has the option of reducing scholarships for all students if there's not enough money to go around. Students who registered for the program in 2011 still have the full guarantee, but the new rules will apply to all students starting with the class of 2018 -- this year's seventh-graders.
The legislature has also raised the grade requirement for the scholarship to a 2.5 grade-point average -- between a B- and C+ average. That change takes effect with this year's sophomores.

Zaquan, Aidil in talks with Johor FC
Twin brothers Zaquan Adha and Aidil Zafuan could be set to leave Malaysia Premier League champions ATM for Super League outfit Johor FC.
By Gabriel Tan
Both players, who joined the Armed Forces at the start of the year from Negri Sembilan, enjoyed a successful season as they helped their team win promotion to the Super League, as well as make the final of the Malaysia Cup, where they lost to Kelantan 3-2 in extra-time last Saturday.
However, it appears they will not be extending their stay at the Majlis Perbandaran Selayang Stadium after Christopher Raj, spokesman for ATM, announced on Tuesday morning via his Twitter account that both players will be wearing the colours of Johor FC in 2013.
Zaquan has since moved to deny a transfer had been completed but admits he and his older brother are in talks with the Bees.
"Our contracts are still being discussed so nothing is confirmed so far," he told ESPNSTAR.com in an exclusive interview.
Nonetheless, the Malaysia international was quick to express his gratitude for all the support he has been shown in the past year, and insists he is now only focused on earning a spot in national team coach K. Rajagobal's squad for the upcoming AFF Suzuki Cup.
"I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone back at ATM," Zaquan added. "We are very thankful for the experience with the team, fans and our coach who has helped us in the best way possible.
"My personal aim right now is to work as hard as I can to get a place in the team for the upcoming Suzuki Cup.
"I failed to get into the team last season so now I am going to work hard for it. I want to be able to contribute to the country."
When asked about Zaquan and Aidil's prospective departures, ATM coach B. Sathianathan was quick to wish the players the best of luck but insisted life at the Armed Forces will have to go on without them.
"I am not sure how far along they are with their contract discussions right now, but I am still going to wish them to best of luck," he said.
"Many people are comparing us to [Barclays Premier League champions] Manchester City because we are strong in terms of funding but it has proven otherwise as we have our own limitations as well.
"Still, we will fight to the top of the Super League next season and losing both players will not be a big problem."
Zaquan and Aidil aren't the only players being linked with a move away from ATM, with 35-year-old striker Marlon Alex James admitting he was unsure about his future following the Malaysia Cup final defeat.
